Beast Taming Starts from Zero

"Impossible, he shouldn't be in first place." Qiao Sang quickly calmed down.

The first seat belongs to the highest-ranking administrator of the Beast Taming Alliance. He is likely to deal with super bigwigs and major events. Even in the Qi Kingdom, he would not be interested in a coordinator with a little fame, let alone personally meet with him.

Zhou Jing is a B-level coordinator. It's not that coordinators of this level are weak, but compared to the First Seat, he's just a nobody, really not worth mentioning.

It's like a new player in a game who has just left the starting village, cleared a slightly difficult dungeon, and gained some fame, but then gets seen and received by the CEO in charge of the entire game—that's a bit too absurd.

It should just be that a certain position in the Qi Kingdom, like the Beast Taming Alliance, also has a title called First Seat.
After figuring it out, Qiao Sang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"Search?"

At this moment, Little Treasure Hunter called out, indicating, "Shall we go back?"
It has put everything into the ring.

Qiao Sang pondered for a moment, then said:

"No, let's look around some more."

The night in Qi Kingdom is brightly lit and filled with an atmosphere of extravagance and decadence. Countless fashionable people and their pets chat and laugh on the streets, showing no signs of being poor or busy.

"What do you think of my new hairstyle?"

"Let me tell you, a new pet grooming shop recently opened, and the results are excellent."

"Jianjian!"

Look at my muscles! I'm sure I won't be eliminated in the preliminary rounds again!
"My Liangliang Cat has been eating too much lately and has gained some weight, which is not good for participating in the coordination competition."

Pedestrians and their pets chatted in small groups, mostly discussing topics related to beauty coordination.

Qiao Sang, along with Ya Bao and the others, drove through the bustling streets using navigation.

Lu Bao's head quietly peeked out of the backpack, observing everything around him.

Occasionally, people and their pets would look over, stop instantly, and show expressions of amazement.

"Search."

Little Treasure observed its surroundings, then suddenly sighed and called out, indicating that no one seemed to have noticed it.

It realized that the people and pets here liked good-looking creatures. Everyone turned to look at their own beast tamers and Ya Bao, but no one and no pet looked at it.

It didn't think it was ugly at all. Little Treasure Hunter was unusually caught in a state of self-doubt.

"Qingqing."

Qingbao glanced at it and barked, as if to say, "Maybe you're just too dark-skinned."

Little Treasure Hunter looked enlightened, then grinned, revealing two rows of exceptionally white teeth.

The next second, a passing pet turned to look at it.

"Search!"

Little Treasure's eyes suddenly lit up, and it barked happily, indicating that it was saying it wasn't ugly.

For the rest of the time, Little Treasure Hunt maintained a smiling expression that showed two rows of teeth.

"Teeth?"

After walking for a while, Ya Bao called out curiously.

Where are we going?

“The miscellaneous tasks room,” Qiao Sang said.

The miscellaneous errand shop is a store that provides various daily errand services. If there are no people willing to accept a task at the Beast Taming Center or if a task cannot be posted at the Beast Taming Center, people usually come to the miscellaneous errand shop to try their luck.

On Tianyuan Star, some countries offer this type of service, while others do not; Qi Country is among the former.

During the conversation, Qiao Sang stopped in front of a "clean house".

She glanced at the navigation in her hand, then at the shop name above, and after confirming that this was the place, she went inside.

"Kick!"

Inside the shop, a bipedal feline wearing an apron was cleaning. When it looked up and saw customers coming in, it excitedly meowed.

We have guests!
"Here they come!" came the aged voice first.

A short while later, an elderly woman with gray hair, who looked to be in her seventies, came out from the inner room.

She asked kindly:
"Is there anything I need to take care of?"

“I have some questions to ask,” Josan said.

"We charge by the hour, 500 Alliance Coins per hour," the old lady said.

“No problem,” Qiao Sang said.

The old lady sat down in the office area, pressed the timer on the desk twice, and then asked:

What do you want to ask?

Qiao Sang sat down in the chair in front of her and said, "I want to ask where I can buy Ice Glass Fruit and Yang Vortex Crystal here."

Upon hearing this, the old woman looked surprised. After glancing at her and Ya Bao several times, she pondered for a moment and said:

"These two items are considered relatively rare among the materials required for royal-level pets. Every January, the country holds a celebration, and the First Seat may designate a few people and pets at the celebration to fulfill their wishes. No matter how rare the item is, the First Seat can fulfill it, or you may be able to obtain it by being summoned by the First Seat."

Despite being nearly a hundred years old, his tone of voice unconsciously became much more respectful.

"It's the first seat again." Qiao Sang pondered for a moment and asked, "Isn't there a way to purchase it?"

“You’re probably not from our Qi Kingdom,” the old woman said. “Some items are only accessible to certain nobles in Qi Kingdom; foreigners can’t buy them.”

The nobles of Qi Kingdom can only stay here for a week, and excluding today, only six days. They certainly won't be able to make it to the January celebrations. As for the latter… Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and asked:
"Who will be summoned for the first seat?"

"The First Seat prefers outstanding coordinators," the old woman said. "The First Seat will only summon coordinators and pets that have performed exceptionally well in coordinating competitions."

After a moment of contemplation, Qiao Sang finally asked the question he had been wanting to ask for a long time: "Who is the First Seat? Is it the leader of this country?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman instantly forgot her respect and looked on in astonishment with a "What are you talking about?" expression:
"Don't you know the number one seat in the Beast Taming Alliance?"

Qiao Sang's heart skipped a beat: "You mean the first seat here is the first seat of the Beast Taming Alliance?"

The old woman laughed again: "I knew you wouldn't know. Besides the First Seat, who else dares to call themselves the First Seat? That's right, the First Seat here is the First Seat of the Beast Taming Alliance."

How could he be the number one in the Beast Taming Alliance? Qiao Sang was shocked, feeling that it was completely illogical.

The old lady chuckled and said, "I saw surprise in your expression."

The first seat, this is the first seat of the Beast Taming Alliance. If you encountered this in any random country, wouldn't you be surprised? Qiao Sang thought to himself, and honestly said, "I am very surprised. I didn't expect to meet the first seat here."

The old woman paused, seemingly equally surprised: "Don't you know the first seat is in our country?"

Qiao Sang explained, "There is very little news about Qi Kingdom outside. Before coming here, I had never seen any news about it."

The old lady sighed, "I know that people outside rarely know anything about our country, but I never imagined that they wouldn't even know about the first seat."

Perhaps it is precisely because the first seat is here that it is so difficult for the outside world to receive news from the Kingdom of Qi. Qiao Sang thought to himself.

After asking some more questions about Qi Kingdom, she paid and left.

It was nearly midnight.

hotel room.

Qiao Sang leaned against the bed, a laptop in front of her, looking at information about the people the First Seat had previously summoned.

Once inside the Kingdom of Qi, it becomes difficult to access information and data from the outside world, but finding information within Qi itself is no longer an obstacle.

Strangely, despite the fact that the First Seat resides in the Kingdom of Qi and appears at the national celebration every January to randomly select someone to grant their wish, not a single photo of him can be found online. After searching for a while, Qiao Sang fell into deep thought.

The first summons is usually for coordinators who have just achieved good results in a coordinating competition and have high popularity.

These coordinators participate in all major competitions, and their lowest rank is B.

These coordination competitions all have level requirements for the coordinators who sign up. Even if I wanted to gain attention by coordinating the competitions, not to mention whether I had enough time or whether I could achieve results, I was only an E-level coordinator and didn't even have the qualifications to sign up.

Trying to gain a first-place invitation by participating in a coordinated competition is unlikely to be a viable option.
Looking for a nobleman?

However, he was completely unfamiliar with the country of Qi, and didn't even know who the nobles were.
In a flash of thought, Steelbao suddenly cried out:
"Steel Power".

You can try contacting that human named Zhou Jing.

Qiao Sang looked at it and said in surprise, "You're not asleep yet?"

"Steel Power".

Steel Treasure looked helpless and barked, indicating that you were thinking about something and it couldn't sleep at all.

Qiao Sang was a little embarrassed: "I forgot to block it."

After saying that, she agreed, "Finding Zhou Jing is indeed a good choice."

Even if he wasn't a nobleman, he did possess a genuine Yang Vortex Crystal. As long as he could obtain the Yang Vortex Crystal, it wouldn't be a complete waste.

Thinking of this, Qiao Sang looked at Xiao Xunbao, who was sighing and groaning beside her, and asked:
"Do you remember that human named Zhou Jing that we met at the mall today?"

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter sighed and called out.

I remember that human was very popular.

“You use spatial teleportation to find him,” Josang said.

After saying that, she placed several addresses that she had already saved on the computer in front of Xiao Xunbao and said, "Take a look at these locations, he should be in one of them."

As a well-known celebrity coordinator in Qiguo, Zhou Jing's schedule can be found online, and there are also reports about where she stays.

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter let out a listless cry, as if to say, "What do you want to do with this human?"

Now all it can think about is not being able to do a live stream, and the fans who are waiting for it to go live, completely forgetting the conversation it had in the mall.

“Let’s trade Yang Vortex Crystals with him, and see if he can get us some Ice Glass Fruit,” Qiao Sang said. “If all goes well, we might be able to go back sooner.”

"Looking around~"

"Go back soon?" Little Treasure Hunter's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a serious expression. It barked, indicating that it would take care of the rest. Then it looked at the computer screen, took out its phone, and located each address on it. Its eyes then glowed blue.

In an instant, the topographical map located in its mind appeared in its head like a three-dimensional picture.

After about ten minutes, Little Treasure Hunter opened his eyes, pointed to one of the addresses, and called out:
"Looking around~"

He's here.

The ability to teleport in the game "Little Treasure Hunt" can now be seen even inside buildings.

After saying that, Little Treasure Hunter couldn't wait to call out again:
"Search?"

Should we go now?

Qiao Sang looked at it and said with amusement:
"Don't you even look at the time? Everyone else is probably already asleep. Let's go tomorrow."

"Search."

Little Treasure Hunter sighed, called out, and said, "Alright then."

The image it saw showed that the human was indeed asleep.

Qiao Sang looked at the computer, remembered the address that Xiao Xunbao had just pointed out, turned off the computer, put it aside, and then, as if remembering something, looked at Lu Bao in the water tank by the wall.

Lu Bao seemed to sense something and opened her eyes.

"You didn't sleep either?" Qiao Sang asked in surprise.

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao popped its head out of the water tank, let out a cry, and then the gem on its forehead emitted a faint blue light.

Qiao Sang realized what Lu Bao was about to do and quickly said, "I don't need Healing Light."

Upon hearing this, the dark blue light from the gem on Lu Bao's forehead disappeared, and she quietly looked at her beast tamer.

Qiao Sang coughed and said, "If you weren't asleep, I originally wanted you to try freezing me."

Lu Bao was stunned for a moment.

"Search?"

Little Treasure Hunt looked puzzled and called out, indicating that the cold resistance competition was over.

"Didn't I feel a slight improvement in my brain capacity during the freeze resistance competition?" Qiao Sang said seriously, "So I want you to freeze me again to see if it can help with further breakthroughs in brain capacity."

She paused, then added, "Just help me defrost when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"Looking around~"

Little Treasure Hunter suddenly realized.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bao looked worried and called out:
"Ice Saint?"

Will this make it hard for me to sleep?

Lu Baoqiao's heart softened completely, and she said gently:
"What's the big deal about not sleeping well? As long as I get out of the freeze, one healing light from you will restore my condition. The most important thing now is to see if this method can improve brain function."

"Ice Saint".

Lu Bao nodded, then circulated her energy, emanating a faint chill from her body.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Sang quickly lay flat and closed her eyes.

A biting chill swept over her, and a thick layer of ice crackled and solidified around her.

Hiss. Lu Bao's freezing effect is indeed much more powerful than that of the Snow Blind Deer. She felt cold as soon as she was frozen. Qiao Sang sighed inwardly.

When she participated in the cold resistance competition, she only started to feel cold in the last few days.

Just then, Gangbao's voice rang in my mind:

"Steel Power".

You were frozen for a week during the antifreeze competition, and now it's just one night, so it probably won't have much effect.

Qiao Sang: "."

Time passed slowly.

Gangbao closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

"Search."

Little Treasure sat on the sofa, holding his phone, scrolling through content about the Kingdom of Wonders.

Inside the water tank, Lu Bao kept her eyes open, staring at her frozen beast tamer on the bed, too afraid to close them. (End of Chapter)
